[Elecraft] An interested link

I don't understand why some people like to limit other peoples activity, or 
choices.
It seems to me like there is very little important communication going on in 
ham radio, so why stress the narrow bandwidth? Would it block some critical 
or important communication?

Ham radio just seems like a bunch of people who enjoy fooling with radio 
equipment, so why not just let them fool with it?

What about operating on an empty band, the operator still must (by law) 
sound like a cheap cell phone?

There are other modes much narrower than ssb, why not not ban ssb as wasting 
spectrum?

People should try to get along, I dislike contests, they can take over and 
ruin a band, I am not fond of RTTY, or slow scan TV, or ssb, or many other 
things other hams do, but the last thing I would want to do is restrict 
something that others find enjoyable.
